Access to clean, safe drinking water is a growing priority for Cyprus, especially as the island continues to expand its residential, tourism, and industrial infrastructure. One of the most critical components in water treatment processes is **silica sand**, used as a key filtration medium. This blog explores how silica sand supports water quality across Cyprus and why Cairo Minerals is a trusted supplier of EN12904-certified filtration media.
Why Water Filtration is Crucial in Cyprus
Cyprus faces limited natural freshwater sources, making **desalination and groundwater filtration** essential for sustainable living. Silica sand is the backbone of most multi-layer filtration systems in municipal water plants, desalination stations, and swimming pools. As demand for water security rises, so does the need for reliable, high-purity silica sand.
What is Filtration Grade Silica Sand?
Filtration silica sand is a naturally occurring granular material with **precise grain size distribution** and high SiOβ content. It is used in pressure filters and gravity filters to trap impurities, suspended solids, and organic matter. Cairo Minerals offers silica sand that complies with **EN12904 standards**, making it ideal for public and private water treatment systems across Cyprus.
